hey there buds... i have a 99 GSR now and have a aftermarket intake with cheap filter on there...it came with the car... but it doesnt make a sound while im driving as my friends 99 GSr does... his car is almost the same as mines and when he drives at low ends his intake whistles? is there a certain brand ? or a certain reason why his intake has that whistle? ...oh yea its not just his...theres few other integras i hear with that whistle...thanks guys....let me know what u guys think...

Usually they all whistle. factory ones would whistle too if they didn;t have resonators and and filter covers. you hear the whistle because aftermarket intake kits aren't enclosed in a cover like factory systems are.

Damn, consider yourself lucky, I ditched my intake cause I could no longer take the sound of that whistle.

who hates the whistle? i hear it more on cai then short rams tho

try cleaning/replacing your filter

The air going around the throttle plate makes the noise. That's why it only happens at certain positions. If you can't hear it, you may have a dirty throttle body/ plate. But I wouldn't stress about it.

hmmmm...i was thinkin bout gettin a Carb Legal short ram such as AEM...and grab a new filter as well...hopefully this works... but is there a safe way to clean ur throttle to make it clean without hurting the manifold? thanks guys.... let me know as well what brands u guys are using...

my AEM cold air whisles at low RPMs. i love the sound of it.

CrazyRexBoy

so most likely its the type of Intake Pipe you have and the filter too right?

i have an aem sri with hks style mushroom filter. doesnt whistle at all. which is what i prefer, i'd go crazy if i had to listen to that damn whistling everywhere i went.

The best and safest way to clean the intake tube and throttle body is CARB cleaner..Just flood the throttle body and let it sit for like 5 minutes or else you will throw a FIREBALL str8 out..It worked for me i had hella carbon build up in mine..I do it every now and then

I have an Injen Short Ram, and it doesn't whistle at all. I have had it for maybe 5000 miles.

i have a weapon R dragon intake and it only whistles at a certain rpm, i don't hear it that often, but it doesn't bother me when i do

i like the whistle. besides every intake ive messed with does it.

integracura

i think every integra whistles no matter what integra u have, sometimes i dont think its the intake i think its something completely different, cuz i had stock intake, aem short ram, and even aem cai and they all whistled, so im not sure.

well i have an integra engine and it doesnt whistle.

my friend's 95 civic on the other hand has a generic sri and it whistles like a mother.

CrazyRexBoy

yea i dont get why my intake doesnt whistle...its almost the same as any other intake besides the tip being a bit dirty.... by the way...i just found out my cars intake manifold came with a EDELBROCK throttle body... does that affect the Non-whistling in any way? thanks guys....i am trying to get a AEM short ram asap with a new filter as well to see what goes on...

Does it whistle a certain tune?

CAI
my generic sri also whistled...but......CAI FTW

i have an AEM CAI and i hear the whistle only when i'm driving with my radio off. which is just about never... haha! i didn't really pay attention that much to the whistle when my radio was out of commission. but it was somewhat loud.

jikespingleton

i always thought that was ur throttle body whistling cuz i usually only get the whistle during certain rpm's cuz the throttle body is open a certain degree.

CrazyRexBoy

yea today i bought a new AEM short ram with a AEM filter...and it sounds very loud on VTEC...from inside the car i can hear my VTEC scream... but however i do not hear the WHISTLE at all... i have the same exact intake and filter as my other friends 99 GSR... but i am thinkin it has something to do with my EDELBROCK throttle body...it looks a bit different...so ill prolly end up sellin it or trading it for a stock one...does anyone know if this is whats causing my intake not to whistle....

1DA2NV

the WHISTLE you refer to is the air getting pulled by the entry of the cone into the actual metal tubing, the air rushes into a small area and has a tendancy to make noise when stress is placed on it to get into that small area along with the drop in pressure on the outside, the fater the air moves the lower the pressure, just like when you whistle with your mouth you gotta make the hole smaller right, same concept diff application, you can see this if you make your mouth a tight small hole then breath in slow nothing right but if you giver....... whistle right, see it works the same way
